APB Reloads With New Update

Apb can  be so much fun! its deffo one of my all top fav games and i dont regret one single min ive spent in it, tho i suffer from the problem most of u guys do, my friends dont agree with me hehe, anyway i am really glad apb get some love and continue to develop new stuffs!

Apb is a very fun and addictive game. It’s action oriented; nothing better than an 8v8 firefight with cars exploding and bullets whipping past your char. The team based co-op play is engaging and most of the time i did not want to stop playing. The news of this update really makes me want to download it again but i already know what is in store for me.

The probs. Apb is very much pay to win. Going up against golds with fully modded weapons isn’t fun. It just sucks. I don’t expect to win every time but when you get a few games in a row like this it quickly loses its fun factor.

New players will find that there isn’t very much direction or help for them to become better at the game. There were many things i had to look up on the internet that the game either didn’t tell me, or i did not notice. This may have changed with the patch, but i remember it was very frustrating.

Playing a crim i vaguely recalled watching a short loading screen comment about ramming but could not remember what it said to do. You would imagine that this would be a simple tool-tip, but i had to google it. After i figured that out i was ambushed by an enforcer while ramming, having no idea that they could steal all of my money. This may seem trivial but this crap can turn a new player off very quickly, especially when it appears that half the time you don’t know what the hell is going on or what you should be doing.

Botting. This game has a problem with bots. Google apb aim bot and you’ll quickly receive thousands of results. Videos, articles, and downloads. I understand that there are not many dev dollars behind this, but just like being fodder for golds, this will eventually be a turn off. I would hope they addressed this in the patch. Nothing quite like seeing that snapping every few games.

The community. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many insults hurled my way for just playing a game. I’m a bot, I’m a *****, I’m a d-bag, I’m a B, I’m a B, I’m a, I’m a, I’m a B. This may be common in many online games, (and I’ve been around the block) but honestly I’ve never seen trolls with the epic status that they have on apb.

All that set aside apb is fun. I played it every week or two for about six months. In the end though i realized that unless i slapped some money down i would never be able to reach my full potential. Not to say you can’t beat some golds, or bots, but you’ll always be at a disadvantage. Fun game to start up and drive around and shoot things, but unless you have some money to spend, you’ll always be at the bottom of the totem pole.
